Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 701: Lu Zhishen: He can be the emperor, but my elder brother can't be the emperor? [1 more]

Nanfeng Prefecture.

King Wang Qing of Chu had a gloomy expression:

"Is it all Du Fu's fault?"

"Ugh……"

His brother-in-law Duan Wu sighed:

“I don’t want to blame him.

“But if his plan had not failed, we would not have returned empty-handed.

“In fact, if it were up to me, I should let Fang Mao lead Fang Jie away.

"Then we will take advantage of the opportunity and attack Bangyuan Cave, and we will surely be able to take it down in one fell swoop.

“This is called luring the tiger away from the mountain.

"Unfortunately, Governor Du insisted on his own way and refused to listen to me. There was nothing I could do."

"Commander Duan!"

Du Fu was shocked and angry:
"You are obviously talking after the fact. You didn't say that at the beginning!"

Since Duan Wu was Wang Qing's brother-in-law, Du Fu did not sue him. Unexpectedly, he was sued by him instead.

It's the wicked who complain first!

As for Duan Wu's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, although it is indeed very likely to succeed, the problem is that Duan Wu didn't say anything at the time. Who doesn't know how to make a hindsight suggestion?

Duan Wu pointed at him fearlessly and said to Wang Qing:

"Look, my king! He is anxious!"

Straight bitch!
Du Fu was so angry that he almost spat out blood. When he tried to explain, Wang Qing waved his hand with a dark face:
"Forget it, let's discuss this matter later."

Du Fu: (￣△￣;)
Wang Qing has more important things to do now:
"Bring Fang Mao-dai...please come in!"

Soon, Fang Mao and the only three remaining generals of the Eight Cavalrymen, Liu Yun, Zhang Wei and Xu Fang, came to the palace.

"Brother Fang!"

Wang Qing walked down the stage enthusiastically, walked up to Fang Mao and held her hand:
"I have heard of Brother Fang's name for a long time, but I regret that I have no chance to meet him!

"After meeting you today, I can see that Brother Fang is indeed a king with extraordinary bearing!"

Fang Mao smiled bitterly and bowed to Wang Qing:
"Fang Mao pays respect to the King of Chu, and I hope the King of Chu will help me restore my country!"

Are you stupid?
Song Jiang and Wu Yong glanced at each other quickly:
You only brought three generals and more than 2,000 troops with you. Why should we help you restore your country?
If the King of Chu is willing to help you restore your country, wouldn’t it be better if he occupied the south of the Yangtze River himself?

Of course, they are bystanders who see things more clearly.

Fang Mao was confused because of the situation, and he always had a little fantasy...

"King of Chu, the hearts of the southern people are with me!

"As long as I go back and make a call, everyone will respond!"

Fang Mao threw out all his chips:
"If the King of Chu helps me to restore my country, I will give him the land west of Hangzhou as a reward!"

To the west of Hangzhou in the south are Shezhou and Muzhou.

Fang Maung felt that ceding two states was a sign of sincerity.

Wang Qing laughed:
"Easy to say, easy to say!
"Brother Fang, Fang Tianding hasn't even fully grown his hair yet, what the hell do you know?
"It is only natural that you become the Holy Archbishop, and it is what everyone wants!
"You and I are brothers, if I don't help you, who will?"

Are you so easy to talk to?
In fact, Fang Mao also knew that things were not that simple, but he had no choice but to trust Wang Qing.

The most important thing is that he has no way out...

……

Liangshan Lake, the Gathering Hall.

Liu Gao and his brothers gathered together and drank and talked happily.

"Fifth brother, if my prediction is correct, the next step of the imperial court will be to recruit us."

Liu Gao gathered several sworn brothers together, and while they were drinking, they talked about things:

"Of course, we don't rule out the possibility of changing the head coach and continuing the game."

In the original novel, Gao Qiu came again after Tong Guan had defeated him.

But now Gao Qiu is deposed, so Liu Gao is unsure and can only cross the river by feeling the way forward for Song Jiang.

"Recruitment?"

Lu Zhishen twisted his thick eyebrows together:
"Brother, do you want to be recruited?"

Liu Gao asked back: "Do you want to?" "No!"

Lu Zhishen said without hesitation, and then he drooped his head and said in a muffled voice:
“But I listen to my elder brother!

"If you want to surrender, then surrender!"

"Third brother, others may not understand me, but don't you understand me?"

Liu Gao put his arm around Lu Zhishen's shoulders:

"Recruiting is just a title. Without this title, the imperial court will lose face.

"For us, having this name allows us to continue to develop here with peace of mind.

"Even if we are recruited, the court can't do anything if we don't obey them."

Lu Zhishen asked, "What if the imperial court insists on intervening?"

Liu Gao laughed:
"Secede one side and establish yourself as king!
"Tian Hu can cut it, Wang Qing can cut it, Fang La can cut it, but I can't?"

At this point, Liu Gao no longer hides things in front of his brothers, and his brothers' mentality has also changed.

At the beginning, Liu Gao's power was weak, and he had to use the pretext of sealing the wolf's lair and imitating Huo Guang.

Now Liu Gao's influence has spread to Shandong, Hebei, Hedong and Jiangnan.

He has many brave generals and over a hundred thousand elite soldiers under his command.

Even if we rebel immediately, there is a chance of success. What is there to hide?
"Brother is right!"

Lu Zhishen slapped his thigh excitedly:
"The emperor's ancestor is the emperor!
"Big brother's ancestor was also an emperor!

"He can be the emperor, but my elder brother can't be the emperor?"

"Third brother is right!"

Wu Song agreed without hesitation:
"The current dog emperor is not worthy of the position, why not let my eldest brother take the position?"

"Not urgent."

Liu Gao smiled and waved his hand:

"In fact, the time has not come yet. It is right to strengthen ourselves first."

Wen Huanzhang was sweating profusely as he listened to this, and he immediately took the opportunity to pick up his wine glass:
"My husband is right!

"Come, have some wine!"

After drinking a bowl of wine, Liu Gao said:
"Tong Guan has returned to Tokyo, and I want to go there to get information too.

"You two guard Liangshan Lake. I will only take my seventh brother (Wu Song), Zhang Bao, Wang Heng, and Shi Qian with me."

Lu Zhishen was unhappy when he heard this:
"Brother, why don't you take me with you?"

Lin Chong also said: "Brother, I am very familiar with Tokyo.

"I will be your guide."

Lu Zhishen glared and said, "I can also be a guide!"

At first the two brothers were still arguing about who would go and who would not, but after a while they reached a consensus:

"Let's go together!"

Yue Fei followed suit: "Let's go together!"

Liu Gao: (_)
"Brother, Liangshanpo is well guarded by our second brother (Gongsun Sheng) and sixth brother (Guan Sheng)."

Lin Chong said happily:
"We'll go with you!"

Guan Sheng wanted to compete with them, but his image was too conspicuous and he was the focus of the crowd wherever he went.

At times like this, Guan Sheng could only keep silent.

Gongsun Sheng was a calm and indifferent person and didn't want to fight, so in the end he and Guan Sheng were the only ones left behind.

Liu Gao thought the final list had been decided, but Hua Yueniang, Hu Sanniang and Qiu Qiongying started making trouble again.

Fortunately, the three women were all capable, so Liu Gao agreed. When Li Kui saw them, he also clamored to go.

Considering that Li Kui had Lu Zhishen to deal with him, Liu Gao nodded, but Shi Xiu refused again.

They are both nephews, so why can Li Kui go but Shi Xiu can’t?
So the final list of people who went to Tokyo to get information was as follows:
Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Wu Song, Yue Fei, Hua Yueniang, Hu Sanniang, Qiu Qiongying, Li Kui, Shi Xiu, Zhang Bao, Wang Heng, Yan Qing, and Shi Qian.

Including Liu Gao himself, there are a total of fifteen heroes.

On the second day, Liu Gao and fourteen other heroes pretended to be a wealthy family and organized a convoy to go to Tokyo.
